Description/notes

Tree Adoption Uganda, is a youth-centric social enterprise powered by the vision of creating communities where people and nature flourish. Through landscape restoration activities like planting trees and agroforestry we build resilience for small holder farmers against the changing climate while economically empowering unemployed young people in Uganda's rural communities through education and training on setting up and managing indigenous tree nurseries and tree farms. We bring tree planting to the very heart of each individual family all over the country, focusing on inspiring a nature-inclined transformation and change of heart in each member of a household. This way we arouse passion among community members to work towards sustainable agricultural practices, conservation and restoration of under green areas.We organize a run every year that is "Run4climate"to gather money for carrying out Environmental activities like tree planting in vulnerable places in Uganda that are mainly affected by flood, landslide and drought.
